It is a felony to steal a person's private Social Security data and give it to someone else. Elon Musk's DOGE did that 350 MILLION times. That's 350 million FELONIES.

Class Action time.

The dude is circling the drain. He’s now calling on people in media to be imprisoned for treason if they don’t report on the war to his liking.

Can't remember who said it -- I think it was @mtsw.bsky.social? -- but journalists give Trump glowing coverage because they like him and want him to win

A dynamic color photograph of American planetary astronomer Dr. Heidi B. Hammel (born March 14, 1960), captured mid-presentation in a dimly lit auditorium or conference setting. Hammel stands gesturing expressively with both hands as she speaks passionately, mouth slightly open in explanation. She has shoulder-length wavy brown hair with soft curls, warm brown eyes focused intently ahead (likely on the audience), and a composed yet enthusiastic expression conveying expertise and excitement. She wears a dark black cardigan over a light gray or pale blue top, a simple necklace with a pendant, small earrings, a watch on her right wrist, and a ring. A microphone clipped to her cardigan indicates a formal talk. Behind her, a massive projected image of Jupiter dominates the screen—showing the planet's iconic banded atmosphere in vibrant blues, whites, and subtle orange-browns, with swirling cloud patterns and the Great Red Spot faintly visible—creating a striking cosmic backdrop that highlights her expertise in outer planet studies (including Jupiter impacts, rings, and atmospheres via telescopes like Hubble and JWST). The overall scene captures her as a leading science communicator and researcher, known for leading Hubble observations of Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9's 1994 impact on Jupiter, extensive work on Uranus and Neptune, and her ongoing role as an Interdisciplinary Scientist for the James Webb Space Telescope, symbolizing wonder and discovery in planetary science.

🔭 Planetary astronomer Dr. Heidi Hammel (b. #OTD in 1960) is a leading expert on the ice giants: Uranus & Neptune.

+ Interdisciplinary scientist, James Webb Space Telescope
+ Recipient, Carl Sagan Medal

We’re all brainwashed to some degree. We’re just numb to the bullshit. We completely let it go that this crazy person faked his assassination attempt. Everyone knows it.

If it were actually a real assassination attempt there is NO WAY that the secret service would have allowed him to stand back up and wave at the crowd. They would have piled on top of him like a scrum to protect him from the threat like they did when Ronald Reagan was shot costing 1 agent his life.

A classic black-and-white photograph of pioneering American war photojournalist Dickey Chapelle (born Georgette Louise Meyer, 1919–1965), captured in an intense, action-oriented moment during her early career as a combat correspondent. Chapelle, a trailblazing female journalist who covered World War II (including Iwo Jima and Okinawa), the Korean War, and Vietnam—where she became the first American female reporter killed in action—is shown crouching low on a sandy, barren beach or landing zone. She wears a worn U.S. military-style fatigue jacket and trousers, a wide-brimmed, battered field cap tilted back on her head, and thick, dark-rimmed glasses. With focused determination, she aims a compact press camera directly forward, hands gripping the camera body and lens securely. Her expression is alert and mid-speech or exclamatory, mouth slightly open, conveying the urgency and adrenaline of frontline work. In the blurred background, a large military tank (an M4 Sherman or similar WWII-era model marked with "CII" on the turret) rumbles nearby, its long gun barrel and tracks visible against the horizon, with faint ocean waves or surf in the distance. The image powerfully captures Chapelle's fearless, hands-on style—often embedding with troops despite military restrictions on women correspondents—symbolizing her grit, independence, and dedication to documenting war from the front lines across multiple conflicts until her death in 1965.

Photojournalist Dickey Chapelle was the first American female war correspondent to die on the front lines (1965).

She covered #WWII, the Korean & Algerian wars, Castro's Cuba, Lebanon & early Vietnam, where she was killed in action. She was born #OTD in 1919. #photography #WomensHistoryMonth

Brendan Carr, FCC chair, threatens broadcaster licenses. This is a violation of the First Amendment.

First Amendment violation, Brendan.

I wonder if a class-action lawsuit (with 320 million of us being the injured class) might change your mind.

Do this and ALL of us will see you in court.

This is the ranting of an insane person. None of these countries are going to fall for it. The reality star and his Fox News personalities are in way over their heads. They charged into a war that looks like a suicide mission he insists he’s already won.

all of this would have been mitigated (not in any way eliminated) if the DT had not obliterated all the wind and solar and geothermal programs that were well in place and functioning. There is a reason he says batteries stop if they get wet. Because batteries are how wind and solar work.
